My turtle is wheezing. His eyes have been irritated. He seems better out of his tank, with a fresh bath and wrapped in towel. Currently he's in towel resting on a hot water bottle and only slightly wheezing occasionally

A wheezing turtle is an absolute emergency, he is probably suffering from a severe respiratory infection and needs immediate treatment, i strongly advise taking him to a reptile vet specialist right away.
